Between Spider-Man’s recent team-ups and solo films, starring in some of the best superhero video games of the past decade, and more, the webslinger’s fans have been having it good. That is, except for those who actually read his comics. To put it mildly, Spider-Man’s recent comics have been polarizing at best, and downright horrible at worst. Spider-Man may be one of the world’s most beloved comic book heroes, but his current mainline comics don’t get any of that goodwill and adoration.The only thing worse than some debatable and questionable creative choices in Spider-Man’s current comics is the fact that this has been going on for more years than fans want to count. Thankfully, they need look no further than the new Ultimate Spider-Man (written by Jonathan Hickman and illustrated by Marco Checchetto) for the kind of Spidey stories they’ve been begging Marvel to give them for years.In 1973’s The Night Gwen Stacy Died, Gwen Stacy was killed because she and Peter were too “perfect” of a couple. In 1996, Peter and Mary Jane Watson’s newborn daughter died so that the two could remain as lovers instead of becoming parents. In 1998, Aunt May’s death was revealed to have been faked so that Peter could return to his comfort zone. In 2007’s One More Day, Peter sacrificed his marriage with MJ to Mephisto so that he and everyone else could regress to young adults. Most recently, in 2022, MJ broke up with Peter to leave him for a newcomer named Paul Rabin. This was only one of many developments fans despised in writer Zeb Wells’ controversial run on The Amazing Spider-Man.
